or the iconoclast entertainment group
I have just witnessed one of the most disturbing
musical natural disasters ahead of its assault and feel its my duty as
a music listener- much in the vein of a concerned citizen- to warn everyone
I can in advance! I truthfully thought hip hop had installed a moratorium
on Vanilla Ice, but I was evidently wrong… If you thought Bubba Sparxx
was ridiculous, wait till you get a load of the subject of my rant, PAUL
WALL! This guy is cheesier than Wisconsin! Seriously, he is
a parody of everything that is legitimate hip hop culture, and its sad
that his own record label doesn’t recognize that. I mean, this dude
could be the next Weird Al Yankovich! He is that silly, and its very
hard to take him seriously even when he is rapping, yet he desperately
wants you to. This guy is no Eminem, and its hard to tell from his
narratives in-between video shots whether he is a parody or the real thing.
His song is called ‘Sideways’, and that’s
exactly how you would cock your head if you saw this joker drive by!
This guy is unbelievable, and I do not mean that in
This guy seeks to represent Houston, but
Scarface and the Ghetto Boys have already accomplished that, and this guy
is a disgrace to the legacy and sound that Rap-A-Lot established almost
20 years ago. I mean truly, this guy is a clown! All he’s missing
is a wig and red nose… He would get his ass kicked in any inner-city
‘hood’ in America, and I honestly hope he does. It would teach him
a lesson, this type of crap is plaguing Suburban America across the country.
If you thought Donnie Wahlberg was silly rapping in the New Kids On the
Block’s NKOTB attempt at urban credibility, ‘No More Games’, when they
bleeped out ‘DAMN’, then this guy will have you in stitches!
On another related topic, this video could have been a commercial for RIMS,
I’ve never seen as many RIMS present designed to distract from the lack
of anything else going on than in this video. The presence of rims
in this video makes Lil John look poor, and I thought he was the king of
rims.
“YouknowwhatI’mtalkingbout?’ ‘Itsgoingdown.’
‘Baby’ All the jargon is here, along with the requisite pants hanging
extremely low, the mouth full of FAKE platinum teeth, which PAUL WALL can’t
seem to stop flashing at the camera. Its his favorite action, and
the part of his ensemble he seems to be most proud of. Perhaps competitive
only with his rims, his many sets of rims on his many cars, or that’s at
least what he’d have you believe. Its unlikely PAUL WALL owns any
of the cars appearing in his video, nor that any of the women he has his
arms around would ever let him talk to them, let alone touch them, if the
cameras weren’t rolling. This guy is setting legitimate white emcees
back by at LEAST 50 years. And I haven’t even mentioned his rap skills,
or massive lack thereof. What a punk. I’d love to see this
guy survive one week in a real ghetto, especially dressed like he is in
the video, and talking with the most ridiculous and phony hood accent you’ve
ever heard. If you want a true visual of who this dude most directly
resembles, its that Kenny dude in the Jennifer Love Hewitt movie ‘Can’t
Hardly Wait’, where Seth Green turned in one of the most hilarious Wigger-parody
performances ever! If you go rent that movie, and then watch Paul Wall’s
video immediately afterward, you’d honestly think it was an outtake from
the film.
In closing, please Please PLEASE do NOT
buy this clown’s record. Don’t even watch his video. You can’t
write your congressmen about it, but maybe call into TRL and request they
not play his video. I hope this guy’s record fails miserably so he
will go away quickly. I can’t believe some record label actually
underwrote the cost of this circus freak show. We have an obligation
as a nation of music listeners not to provide this guy with any help on
his way up, only on his way DOWN! Maybe we can slide him under one
of those big Caddys when they are bouncing up, so that when they come back
down they will crush his larynx so we’ll never have to hear him again.
Or perhaps we could slam PAUL into a WALL head first and just end the misery
all together. This guy is f**king horrible, which is why I have ranted
about him for four paragraphs. He makes Fred Durst sound good, and
for me to say that means he REALLY sucks. PLEASE boycott this f**ker,
make it your good deed for Independence Day!

why the number one rap song sucks! Hip hop, rap has lost it's luster. It comes off as so very uneducated and ignorant, I have no desire to listen to hip hop music anymore. I will listen to reggaeton anyday before I will play any rap. In fact I do not even listen to hip hop or rap anymore, it has been so destroyed and exploited!
I will tell the world why this song called GRILLS by Nelly and Paul Walls is the worst rap song in history and absolutely sucks! This is such disrespect to the jewelry business, the real jewelers who work in this business and to the entire gold teeth business. It is a total and complete disrespect and I do take it personally!
I am GangstaGold, the owner founder and brainchild of GangstaGold.com online. I am not impressed about rappers who want to be jewelers overnight without any skills, education or experience in the jewelry industry and who rap about robbing the jewelry store to get their mouth bling on.
Rappers need to concentrate on growing up and doing and rapping about the right things! They are role models to young children, teenagers and adults.
I guess we need to build more prisons, cemetaries and drug treatment centers because if people idolize and follow this crap, that is right where they are going to end up!
I suppose money and greed can not buy you everything!
I did not become GangstaGold by flashing my grill in anyones face or robbing the jeweler store. I work like a dog literally every day with one intention of making everyones fine jewelry dreams come true.
Yes I sell custom removable gold teeth but I do not and will never exploit my gold teeth business. It is not a game or a rap song to me, It is my livelihood day in and day out. These rappers are the biggest bunch of hypocrites ever!
This has to be the most ignorant, disrepectful rap song ever in history. Why would you disprespect the jeweler who makes these beautiful gold teeth?
It is shame but the only good hip hop is on COLLEGE RADIO, hip hop that makes sense and has real meaning!
These number one songs about grills and gold teeth are the worst representation of hip hop and rap music ever and extremely disrespectful to those of us who make out our living entirely on selling custom removable teeth bling and hip hop jewelery.
Besides, anyone can own a gold teeth shop as he does in Texas. All you have to do is get a business license and a storefront, it is not that difficult. This does not make you an experienced or established jeweler. Maybe someone will rob or jack his jewelry store for mouthing off so much! He deserves it big time.
As far as I am concerned, I am the real peoples champ and I don't need the fame or fortune. I service the publics jewelry needs straight from my heart, not from my pocketbook or ego!
Absolutely disgusting, offensive and sounds like a 2 year old wrote it!- GangstaGold.com Mood: disrespected www.gangstagold.com: GangstaGold.com

I feel you. man I'm sick of that dude always showin his f**kin grillz. this dude an't no mc. I mean I don't hate paul wall, I hate the fact that he tryin' to act black 24/7! he should know he don't need to be black to know how to rap and he shouldn't be dropping the n-bomb on his lyrics. who does he think he is!? this fagget forgot he's white, he truly believes he's black!
Posted by brandon:
i just have a question. why bother with raving and ranting about paul wall when you can just instead be doing something else...such as signing someone to your label to actual get you money. its kind of sad how you have to "bash" on Paul Wall so that you can be recognized. everything you say has no truth behind it. Paul Wall to some is an icon in Houston because it is a new "beginning" of a new generation of rap reigning from houston..which also is helping underground artist get out there.yeah and i would like to see you say your comments about him in the inner city of Houston...just because he's white doesn't mean that he ain't from the ghetto. so why dont you grow some balls and get off his.

thank you, squizzle, for proving me right. get an education.
Posted by Savage:
Ok, the only defense I have to offer for Paul Wall is that his grills are not fake, but that is it. Big deal that he is known in alot of hoods, that does not make him a true lyricist! His rhyming style is elementary, bubble gum rap! It sounds like every line he ever spit came from a fourth grade freestyle. What talent? Have you ever listened to a true lyrical master? I mean someone who seems to effortlessly blend a gritty tale from the streets into a complex rhyming pattern? Any child can rhyme cat with hat, which is pretty mch the most complex rhyme you would ever hear from someone of his caliber. I am from Houston and can testify that we have so much more to offer than this kid. The only reason I think this bitch even got his name out of Houston is because Chamillionaire carried him! Now that dude can rap! T.I. can rap! Paul Wall is a wannabe! Not because he is white, but because he is fake! Any true G can see through his shiny grills and fancy whips and see a little boy desperately reaching for acceptance, and it is a shame that our society has developed this herd like mentality so that people will say he is the crap because other people think so.

Your lame ass Motley Crew listening ass wouldn't last in the ghetto 5 minutes so your mad that a white guy has street cred, I don't know about your city but in Texas some of the Ghettos have white people, he isn't that great of a rapper, but to say Fred Durst is better than anybody is ridiculous

i wish i had the slightest clue what was going on here.
i saw (and heard) this guy, and he does suck. if you guys are really backing him, try to do it intelligently, otherwise, i'm inclined to think you're being sarcastic. learn to spell and learn some grammer for craps sake. you all sound like morons.
and 'g to the squizzle'? please tell me you're joking. do NOT try and deffend a bad rapper by being a WORSE rapper. your defending in verse is a curse (i made a funny!)

You have 4 paragraphs about Paul Wall being a Clown but make no TRUE statement to back up why he is a Clown. You sound like every other HATER out there. You have no idea who or what you are talking about.

I agree Muse, severe leakage. It's as if to be a fan of this clown you have to lose all respect for and grasp of the English language. At least Eminem knew how to throw his lines together in creative ways without sounding like a 6th grade dropout hooked on meth.

Paul Wall has been putting it down for H-town for years. Id you didnt know Paul Wall be from Acres Homes, a hood up in northwest houston. He has a grill shop in Sharpstown mall. He has some mad freestyle skills, and if he never got no love from H-town, then how in the **** did he get on MTV?
Posted by Paul Wall Lyrics:
I'm on the grind, I hustle everyday all day I'm trying to shine, with muscle and show off parque I lost time in the struggle, so I grind always Cause on my mind, I'm making up for lost pay I'm using my past for inspiration, when I was broke I had dreams and aspirations, influenced by hope I get up get out and get it, while I can cause I might get jammed Life don't always go, the way that you plan Instead of ducking the undercovers, or snoring undercovers I'm climbing out the underground, increasing my numbers 24/7 I grind, ain't no time for sleep Cause if you snooze you lose, and if you sleep you won't eat pimping I go and get it, being broke I ain't with it A different hustle every minute, if I said it I did it I can't let no critic, influence my mash for paper
I grind major I'ma shine later, holla playa
Posted by H-Town's Finest:
I'm on the grind, trying to make paper stack up And if I slip and fall, then I get back up A two piece, any hater that wanna act up And if boxing don't work, a glock got my back up pimping Talking down, is a thing of the past Instead of tripping off of me, you should be getting your cash I got a lot of paparazzi, trying to see through my glass Well peep game I'm bout to teach class, listen to me I'm a hustler, with only one thing on my mind And that's getting all that's mine, while I'm in my prime Whether it's legal or a crime, the police still blind Cause I'm quiet and hush-hush, like a mime I'm gon shine, but not till the appropriate time So I nickel and dime, every lick I find If I fall in a bind, my inventory still fine I never let a slump, influence the way I grind baby
Posted by Padrino:
Also, Paul Wisky OWNS a grill shop in Houston. He has made alot of grills for famous rappers. Why would he make a fake grill for himself???? It's surprising you don't know anything about this dude as your from Tennesee and in every hood in the south this fool is well known and mostly respected. I could see the vannilla ice caomparison if vanilla ice was one of the most talented rappers in the game who has performed all over the south for many years before blowing up.
some one out. Paul Wall has been putting it down in the south for a long time. Go out and cop some swisha house mixtapes and u can see what i'm talking about. You could never in your life come up with the punchlines this man has. You're just not smart enough, your an arrogant white faggot who is taking crap about something he doesnt understand go get u a cup of that drank and shut your bitch ass up. A

I was expecting this to be a rant on John Cena. But anyway - I'm a fan of hip hop from the South (esp. Screwed & Chopped) and if this album comes with an S&C version, I may have to check it out. Seriously, this guy worse than Fred Durst. Listen to some of his other stuff and you'll change your mind - NO ONE is as weak as Fred Durst.

A legend in the hood for gold grills and poppin' seals/ A icon on the mic for showcasing my verbal skills/ I'm in the club posted up with some gangbangers/ Still flippin' the old school kitty Cadillac on swingers/ I got a styrofoam white cup fulladat drink/ Lookin' for that dank/ My hustle game sharp as a shank.

Just shut up before I have to kill you. It's me, you silly foo! Paul Wall means the wall of my gut that decides if only the finey hineys can pass. My skillz are legend, check check check this ish: "I be white/You butt be tight/We goan do it all night/If it be smelly/You git R. Kelly/You be dissin/ he be pissin."(end rap) You just gave this fool mad publicity so don't try to fool us about your duplicity and fake antipathy to the industry which perpetrates this atrocity because they are the monopoly. You are a ho to the Disney Nation and your disinformation is worth a castration. I hope you get paid good for giving up your credence to promote their commerce. My raps suck, and I'm proud of it.
